A year ago today I dipped my toe into the conservative blogosphere. Never in my wildest dreams did I imagine that today I would actually have such a respectable following. I am truly humbled.

I started this blog because, like so many of you, I felt a need to speak out about the crazy path our nation has taken. I wanted to use my blog to vent my frustrations, keep up with current political events and to provide another voice to the chorus of black conservatives.

I took my inspiration from Kevin Jackson of The Black Sphere and Adrienne Ross from Motivation: Truth. From Kevin Jackson I learned to speak my mind without fear and Adrienne Ross taught me to speak with conviction. Thanks to you both.

Speaking of thanks, I owe huge thanks to both Robert Stacy McCain from The Other McCain and Shay Riley from Booker Rising. Their early linkage to Another Black Conservative helped tremendously to put me on the map. I simply cannot thank the two of them enough for the early boost. I also want to thank everyone on my e-referrer list for daily hits you send my way.

Finally, I want to share with you something I learned this year in blogging. In my very first post I asked; “Where is our Daniel Hannan”? That person who would stand up and call out the crazy spending in Washington. Well, my friend I found the answer and the answer is you! Everyday Americans simply standing up and calling out Washington’s recklessness on both sides of the aisle. You have effected more real change than this nation has seen in 50 years. So, keep standing up and speaking out, soon your hopes will bring about a true everlasting change.

And a Happy Birthday.I am so glad you are here.At times I felt so alone and it is wonderful to know that I am not.Keep up the good work.By the way, I found you through a link from Legal Insurrection. And I come here daily

Congratulations! Your site has become a daily must read for me. I thank you for being a black conservative who isn't afraid to speak his mind. I am a former black Democrat who finally saw the light during the '08 election (ironically, thanks to Obama). Thanks to sites such as yours and the ones you've paid thanks to, I feel more comfortable and especially more confident in being a conservative myself. Once again, congrats and keep up the tremedous work!

I'm a native New Yorker, who now lives in Pittsburgh and I'm looking to have some kind of group blog that talks about "urban issues"--including many of the bad effects of bad and often evil government policies like eminent domain abuse, rent control, "urban renwal, school choice etc....

There are at least 40 years of government policies the left doesn't want to talk about.

Any thoughts or tips would be appreciated. Just say you have some interest and I will try to follow up.

I have always been uncomfortable with accepting the black narrative of the MSM, yet for the longest time, it was all that I had. Thank you for giving me a different perspective to work with, for sharing with me what YOU see from YOUR point of view.

Congratulations Clifton! I found your blog on a blogroll one day, and thought I'd pay a visit. I'm so glad that I did, and I've visited everyday since. You keep us well informed about what is going on.

You're so right...we've got to stand strong and keep fighting the good fight!

And many more great years ahead. That is, unless we get nuked. You are an inspiration to so many people, and are a really nice person. Keep it up. Never stop fighting for truth, and for Black Conservatism. Check out Clifton's, blogs, also, at www.exposethemedia.com

Can I do that? All least I din't tell you happy bithday like that other chic.

Thanks for including me in your acknowledgements. You’ve been a tremendous help to me me and my blog. Your blog is a standard I try to emulate, barrow, and sometimes steal. Thanks brother for all your help and your Conservatism.

Clifton: Happy Birthday! I appreciate what you are doing. Black, White, Hispanic, Asian, Native Am, the "color" list can go on and on. What we all have in common is the human sprit and the divine obligation to live a truthful and courageous life unemcumbered by those who would impose unjust rules over our citizens. Forever love the beautiful UNITED STATES OF AMERICA!

About Me

I am a black conservative from a black conservative family. I was born and raised in Brooklyn, New York and finally settled in New Jersey. Throughout my life I knew I did not share many of the common beliefs of other American blacks.
For starters, I never took to the term African-American. I have meet too many real Africans who are now Americans, to ever with a straight face say we share something in common other than skin tones. Their history and culture is truly a unique and is a completely different experience from my own. My culture is distinctly American, from the way I speak, think, dress and act and you know what else? I love it! So for me, I will always be an American who just happens to be black.
I put myself and my beliefs out here in cyberspace, to show my fellow blacks that there is something more. That one need not accept the false promise of the next social program, the belief in government as savior or the next Democratic candidate will right all wrongs. That true Hope and Change comes from belief in yourself, in a nation that allows dynamic movement if you are bold enough, smart enough and brave enough to make it happen.
